Preface

This guide describes how to install and run the SigTest collection of tools. This collection includes the Signature Test tool and the API Coverage tool. Signature Test tool includes utilities used to develop signature test components that can be used to compare API test signatures. API Coverage tool is used to estimate the test coverage a test suite provides for an implementation of a specified API.

Note:

For simplicity, this user's guide refers to the test harness as the JavaTest harness. Note that the open source version of the harness, called JT harness, can be used in its place. The JT harness software can be downloaded from: http://jtharness.java.net/
